some annoying typos and copyediting glitches

woo hoo! the first of the decarbonisation reports on one of the properties of the communal endeavour has arrived. monday evening the meeting of the communal endeavour about it. 

there are some annoying typos and copyediting glitches in it but horsemouth thinks it gives the communal endeavour enough information on the cost of the measures and the improvement they bring to the properties' EPC rating to make it a useful document in agreeing the works with members, planning out the works, and crucially costing the works - so that the communal endeavour knows how much it can afford to do in the first wave. 

funds are limited. horsemouth (and his fellow communals) have to work out how to spend the money they have  to the best effect. 

when they have similar reports for the other 13 dwellings they will be in a position to move forward. 

the government requirement (as far as horsemouth understands it) is that the properties be at the EPC (energy performance certificate) level of C by 2030 - horsemouth thinks this is an achievable target. 

beyond that is achieving full decarbonisation by replacing gas-fired combi boilers with electric air-source het pumps and thus removing that source of CO2 emissions. now this will cost considerably more and it will take the co-op a lot longer to build up the reserves to pay for these. 

here the government target is 2050 but horsemouth wants to get there much earlier. 

as usual all of this stuff makes horsemouth a it grumpy (less the stuff itself more the imagining the kinds of arguments he will have to have to get it done) so he'll pack it in for the night and revisit it in the morning. 

yesterday roughly 6 miles walked - two walks into ewyas harold and back. horsemouth walked in to pick up his mum's medicines but they weren't ready yet (so horsemouth had to come home and go back out again later - there's annoying). today an egg delivery. the weather looks good.
